Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRinat Tuhvatshin is a co-founder and development manager at Kloop Media, blending two decades of hands-on coding with leadership in investigative journalism technology. He builds and supervises ambitious, often "insane" projects — from drone-enabled reporting and graph-database investigations of procurement corruption to nationwide election-observer coordination and early MOOCs in Kyrgyzstan. Comfortable shifting between management and code, he contributes backend improvements to open-source projects like Aleph (enhancing entity cross-referencing) and codes in Python, Java, and JavaScript. Fluent in Russian and English, he is deeply interested in neural networks and practical applications of GPT systems for analysis and automation. Currently he’s developing a Temporal Network Graph (“Cereal Graph”) to map and analyze massive text corpora, aiming to make large-scale information landscapes navigable for both manual and automated investigation.
